Liberalism cannot justify justice, equal opportunity, or any of its values. Why such and such should be striven for and idealized. "It's just right" they say, for "ethical reasons." Why those ethics should be defined a certain way and why anyone should obey them is left open (circular reasoning).

The same occurs in Communism, which is unable to justify intrinsic human value, on which all its social justice is based. "Everyone has a right to basic needs, because human life." But why Communism should value human life, it cannot answer. Because, uuh...

Fascism, on the other hand, avoids such issues by utilizing the gods (any) to justify its values (any). This is the inversion of the Old World order where the "divine" was at the head, the purpose, and everything else was ordered accordingly.

Fascism inverts this order by placing man-made ideals at the top (state, race, money, etc.) justifying them with the divine ("We are chosen," "Gott mit uns"). There are more inversion analogues between Fascism and Traditionalism.

Submission, e.g., a virtue in the Old World born out of repentance and a will to approach God, becomes a fetishized ritual in the fascist understanding of the world. A seal on one's particular supremacy over the Other.

In short, while the First (Liberal) and Second (Commie) positions are unjustifiable nonsense, the Third position (Fasco) is straight satanism, taking the divine order of Traditionalism with genuine virtues and subverting it through supremacist inversion.

"There was a notorious Witchfinder in Scotland who undertook by a pin to make an infallible discovery of suspected persons, whether they were witches or not. If, when the pin was run an inch or two into the body of the accused party no blood appeared nor any sense of pain, he declared them to be witches, by means of which no less than three hundred persons were condemned for witchcraft in that country."

I'm not sure this is an infallible method.

Thanks. I'll follow your advice.
